Owners transforming former party store into 3 boutique-ready storefronts at Cass and Willis

Another blighted, long-vacant hulk is being renovated into a home for new businesses in Detroit, serving as further proof of why the city's Midtown neighborhood is setting itself apart as the city's most vibrant area.

Excerpt:

The southeast corner of Cass and Willis is abuzz with construction activity as a former party store is being transformed into three storefronts. Leslie Malcomson, who owns the building with her husband Peter, anticipates construction will be completed this summer. The Malcomsons live next door to the property, so she has her fingers crossed that one of their tenants will be an ice cream parlor, but is open to any "small merchant, boutique-type store" moving in.

The units are approximately 1,000 square feet each, with large front windows and awnings. "We want it to look nice. This is our neighborhood," says Malcomson. The project architect is Keith A. Logsdon of Michael Willoughby & Associates.
